Iggy Azalea claims American Airlines left her and her baby stranded at the airport, but it's actually a case of her showing up to the airport at 5:30 for a 6 PM flight

I'm a frequent flyer so I typically get to the airport 30 min before boarding; security usually takes 5-10 (with PreCheck) and then that gives me enough time to grab a coffee or a drink in the lounge. My SO has definitely shown up 10 mins before boarding and just walked onto the plane, but that's usually due to LAX traffic and not intentional.

I'm surprised they let her check her bags; usually there's a cut off time and it's definitely earlier than 30 mins before departure.

Last I saw (aka two weeks ago haha) the cut off was 60 minutes, so I was surprised by that too.

I think a small airport might let you do it up to 45, but I mostly fly JKF-LAX and it's 60 at both.

Maybe she checked in before she got to the airport ? Can you still do a bag drop if youre late but already checked in?

[bicheul]

nope, bag drop is separate from check-in. checking your bags so close to departure is a great way to get them left behind if TSA has to do extra checks before they even make it to the aircraft

I have precheck as well but PHL is a disaster and most of the time their Precheck lines aren't even up.

I had no idea this was a thing lol I go there 45 minutes before departure, checked a bag, got Starbucks and flew to Rome without an issue.

I think it depends on the airline/airport, but they're typically pretty strict especially if it's busy (if you have priority they might bend the rules a little but at a certain point the systems stops letting the agents issue tags afaik).
